I do exactly the same thing, and it usually works for me. Some things
to try:
1. put a "&" at the end of the above line
2. the man page says -pass takes a quote-delimited string, so quite it
3. Try a simple "rsh" to the remote host first, to make sure that part
of the connection works.
4. "xterm" may not be enough. I've found that I have to specify the
full path, like /usr/bin/X11/xterm. Of course, that path had to be
correct on the remote host, not the local host.
